This tape is a documentary issue about a number of performances and recordings by Paul Hurst and DDV in the WWII concentration camp of Breendonk, Belgium.
In July 1984 Paul and Christine of ProduKtion were living at the Club Moral in Antwerp. At previous mainland travels, they had been visiting many WWII memorials all over Europe. Breendonk was little known at the time, although it was probably the most well preserved example of a concentration (not extermination) camp. Originally built in 1909 as a fort to protect Antwerp from enemy attacks, it was officially targeted as a concentration camp on 20 september 1940, when the first prisoners came under authority of Sturmbahnführer Philip Schmitt. For more information on Breendonk check the excellent website of www.breendonk.be.
Track A-02 was recorded during a live performance at the execution site of the camp with portable, battery-equipped radios and cassette-players.
Tracks B-01 - B-05 are based on recordings of performances in various rooms of the camp and later edited.
Along with the tape came a set of eight postcards, based on the original design of postcards available at the camp, with pictures of the performances by ProduKtion and DDV.
This release was a co-production of Club Moral and ProduKtion.
On 7 may 1946 several Belgian SS men were sentenced to death for cruelties committed upon prisoners. They were executed by the firing squad on 12 april 1947. Commandant Philip Johann Adolf Schmitt was sentenced to death on 25 november 1949 in Antwerpen. He was executed by the firing squad on 9 september 1950 in Hoboken.
In 2003 a complete renovation was done, but still Breendonk remains a must-see for anybody interested in WWII and the Nazi regime. The fort is open every day of the year except 1 january and 24/25 december.
I still don't have any trace of Paul Hurst....
